Is there a way to return to a CommanButton after entering data? I am matching a barcode to a column of data, it automatically moves to the next column and enters a time/date stamp then moves to the next column for manually entering a sample weight. After entering the sample weight, I would like to return to the CommandButton to scan the next barcode.
This is what I have thus far:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim code AsVariant
Dim matchedCell AsRange
' set up errorhandling
On Error GoToBadEntry

code =InputBox("Please scan a barcode and hit enter if you need to")

' Exit ifcancelled
If code ="" Then Exit Sub

Set matchedCell =Range("B2:B1000").Find(what:=code, LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole,MatchCase:=True)
If Not matchedCellIs Nothing Then matchedCell.Offset(0, 1).Value = Now
matchedCell.Offset(, 2).Select
Exit Sub
 

Excel Facts

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
How about something like:

code = " "
Do While code <> ""
code = InputBox("Please scan a barcode and hit enter if you need to")
Loop

Thank you, getting closer. The CommandButton is opening but too soon. The time and date stamp is entered but I am not able to enter the data before the commandbutton opens. I need the commandbutton to open after I enter data in the column next to the time and date stamp and I hit enter. Here is what I have at this point:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim code As Variant
Dim matchedCell As Range

' set up error handling

On Error GoTo BadEntry
code = " "
Do While code <> ""
code = InputBox("Please scan a barcode and hit enter")

' Exit if cancelled

If code = "" Then Exit Sub

Set matchedCell = Range("B2:B1000").Find(what:=code, LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole, MatchCase:=True)
If Not matchedCell Is Nothing Then matchedCell.Offset(0, 1).Value = Now
matchedCell.Offset(, 2).Select
Loop
Exit Sub
